We now expose ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.CSV2=1 to guests running on hosts
that are immune to Spectre-v2, but that don't have this field set,
most likely because they predate the specification.
However, this prevents the migration of guests that have started on
a host the doesn't fake this CSV2 setting to one that does, as KVM
rejects the write to ID_AA64PFR0_EL2 on the grounds that it isn't
what is already there.
In order to fix this, allow userspace to set this field as long as
this doesn't result in a promising more than what is already there
(setting CSV2 to 0 is acceptable, but setting it to 1 when it is
already set to 0 isn't).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
